Zhao Yao summoned Elizabeth, Dust Ball and Matcha over and instructed Elizabeth to cast an illusion on them, preventing the customers from seeing what they were doing.
He then began explaining his upcoming plans to the three cats.
Matcha burst out laughing and began rolling around the floor in bouts of laughter. With a horny smile plastered on his face, Matcha started pounding his chest and roared, "Zhao Yao, you are so scheming! I never expected you to come up with such a ploy! I guess it's just a matter of time before we reign over the cat world."
Zhao Yao ran his fingers along Matcha's spine and laughed along, "Of course! There is nothing that we will not do as long as it doesn't involve money."
Dust Ball and Elizabeth were left speechless by Zhao Yao's proposition and curled their lips in disgust.
Ten minutes later, Fūjin, Ares, Lucifer, Gaia and Rakshasa who were originally engrossed in their computer games suddenly appeared in the cat café.
They froze on the spot. In front of them sat two men which they had never expected sitting together, "You … you … you … you!"
The two men were Ho Hao Cang and Zhao Yao. Obviously, Ho Hao Cang was simply an illusion.
A smile appeared on Hao Cang's face when he noticed Ares's arrival and said, "Ares, long time no see."
"Who are you?" Gaia roared at the top of his voice. Shock and confusion flooded Gaia's face as he muttered, "Why does this guy look so familiar?"
Zhao Yao could not believe his ears and thought, "This stupid cat! Can't he even recognize his owner? It has only been less than two months!"
Zhao Yao managed to suppress the anger raging with him and spoke calmly, "Don't you guys remember me? I am Ho Hao Cang, your previous owner."
"Oh," Gaia started nodding his head cluelessly, "Oh I remember! You are the person who used to feed us every day! You are Ho Ho Cang!"
"It's Ho Hao Cang!" Before Zhao Yao could even scold Gaia, Ares had already sent a slap across Gaia's cheeks and roared, "Stop pretending as if you had managed to recall who he is."
Gaia's head sank into his chest as he pressed his paws against his forehead dejectedly. A thought flashed through his head, "So what if I have forgotten about him? You don't have to resort to violence! I'm almost bald from this constant beating."
Ares's eyes wandered between Ho Hao Cang and Zhao Yao before he finally spoke, "So what happened? I thought you guys were still engaged in an intense battle?" Ares's words had attracted the supercats' attention as they stared curiously at them.
Ho Hao Cang explained, "Thanks to King George, Zhao Yao and I had finally managed to resolve the disagreements between us. From now on, Zhao Yao will continue staying here to serve King George. Meanwhile, I feel like retiring from this complex world of supercats and spend my time leaving a peaceful and simple life."
At this opportune moment, Matcha stepped forward with a gleeful smile on his face, "Alright, I guess you guys have already bid your farewells. From now on, I will be in charge. Zhao Yao will be working under me as the Lord of Cat Shit. Do look out for him."
In reality, during Zhao Yao's penultimate fight against Ho Hao Cang, Ho Hao Cang's final attempt at victory using his suicidal move had almost annihilated the band of supercats. It was Zhao Yao who had saved them from the gates of hell. Naturally, they were not too against him.
Also, after spending the past month playing computer games and watching dramas inside the extradimensional belly, their feelings towards Hao Cang had also gradually faded.
Conversely, they had witnessed King George performed multiple miracles over the past month. It was also King George who had given Ares a power boost. Currently, they accorded this ordinary-looking cat unfathomable respect.
Hence, Ares and gang instantly accepted the proposition set forth by Ho Hao Cang.
Gaia interrupted, "Alright, alright. I already understand the new terms. Can we just get back now and resume our games?"
Zhao Yao let out a sigh of disappointment when he realized how eager the supercats were to return to the extradimensional belly. He thought, "I never expected this to end so smoothly. These are truly a bunch of heartless fellas. I dare not imagine how Matcha and the rest will react when I die."
After addressing the problems regarding Ares and his gang, Zhao Yao was only left with the remaining cats inside the belly.
Hence, after sending the five supercats back into the extradimensional belly, Zhao Yao also entered the place alongside Matcha.
As compared to Ares and gang, the remaining supercats were even more receptive to Matcha's propositions. Since arriving here, they had witnessed all his miraculous feats. To them, Matcha was as real a God as it got.
Matcha rested on Zhao Yao's head while the supercats huddled around them in a circle. From time to time, Matcha would tap on Zhao Yao's head and roar, "Do you understand? This person here, Zhao Yao, is my subordinate! If he requires your help, I expect your full cooperation! Of course, if you guys require any help, feel free to communicate them to Zhao Yao."
The supercats' head cocked from side to side as they stared curiously at Zhao Yao. This was still the first time they had been formally introduced to this character.
Suddenly, Gaia raised his paw and exclaimed, "Zhao Yao! The cat toilet is almost overflowing with shit. Can you come here twice a day to get rid of the shit? Once a day is really too little."
Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust but continued to remain silent.
Lion Head also raised her paw and struggled to string her words together, "Erm … erm …" Her face turned crimson with embarrassment as she asked, "What happened to the fat, black and white cat? I haven't seen him in the Village of Dreams."
"Oh yes! What happened to my brother, Roly Poly?" Caesar joined in by asking, "King George, do you know what happened to him? I have not seen him since the day I returned here."
Matcha simply rolled his eyes and was simply indifferent to their questions, "Oh, you're asking about Roly Poly? I think he might be dead already."
"Huh?" Sadness clouded her features as Lion Head muttered, "How did this happen? Is that why they always say that handsome and beautiful cats tend to die at a young age?"
Similarly, Caesar let out a deafening shriek, "How can my brother be dead? I must exact revenge for him!"
Zhao Yao began screaming at Matcha in his head, "Matcha, what the f*ck are you saying?" Meanwhile, he mustered a cheerful smile and explained, "Everyone, please do not worry. Roly Poly is not dead and is living happily. He is currently dispatched out on a mission. King George was simply joking with you."
Lion Head and Caesar only managed to heave a sigh of relief when they heard that news.
In the far corner of the extradimensional belly was the Sphynx Cat confined within the cage. His heavy eyelids drooped over his eyes as he began observing the interaction between the cats and Zhao Yao.
A thought sprang into his head, "So this orange cat is actually the true leader?" Originally, the Sphynx Cat had thought that Zhao Yao was the true conspirator behind this entire saga. However, from the looks of it, this orange cat seemed to be the actual leader amongst them. That man was simply a slave the cat ordered around.
Zhao Yao began chatting with the supercats when he suddenly recalled his second chain mission.
"My second chain mission is to allow the cats to experience happiness. What should I do to achieve this? Should I splurge on food and drinks?"
Suddenly, Zhao Yao's eyes glimmered with excitement when he noticed Uncle Egg sitting alone in the corner with sadness clouding his features. He seemed to be unable to fit in with the rest.
"Oh yes, I can also obtain missions from supercats! Elizabeth gave me the mission to save her family members previously!"
"At this rate, I'll be able to receive missions from the supercats inside the belly and earn some additional experience points. In the process, I can help them and forge stronger bonds with them. Maybe, I can even borrow their strength in the future and raise their satisfaction level. Ultimately, I can complete my second chain mission!
This is as good as killing three birds with one stone!"
With this thought lingering at the back of his head, Zhao Yao had already started prancing towards Uncle Egg's position with excitement pouring out of his eyes.
